It is also valuable to persons seeking employment in fields such as real estate, insurance, banking, or brokerage. The great need for legal services in our society, plus the shortage of lawyers to fill this need, has created a demand in the legal profession for qualified assistants, such as we find in the medical and dental fields. - 132 - A paralegal is a person, qualified by education, training or work experience, that is employed, or retained and under the supervision of a lawyer, by a law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible. Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public except as permitted by law. According to the latest statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for the field of Paralegals and legal assistants are projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2012. Some employment growth stems from law firms and other employers with legal staffs increasingly hiring paralegals to lower the cost and increase the availability and efficiency of legal services. The majority of job openings for paralegals in the future will be new jobs created by employment growth, but additional job openings will arise as people leave the occupation. Despite projections of fast employment growth, competition for jobs should continue as many people seek to go into this profession; however, highly skilled, formally trained paralegals have excellent employment potential. While the program cannot guarantee employment, every effort is made to assist students in finding law related positions. All students in the Law/Paralegal program are welcome to join the on-campus Law Club. Los Angeles City College is a member of the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE). All paralegal students are encouraged to be active in the local chapter of the AAfPE. The A.A. Degree consists of 18 units in General Education and 42 units in the Paralegal Studies program major, for a total of 60 - 64 units. Students considering transferring law / paralegal credits from another college should meet with the chair of the law department. ALL prerequisite courses must be taken in sequential order. In addition to Major requirements, the student must satisfy ALL the requirements of Plan “B” for completion of an Associate of Arts Degree. All courses must be completed with a “C” or better. Plan “B’ is not a program designed for transfer to a four-year college.
